 Powdered Activated Carbon

Powdered Activated Carbon (PAC) is similar to Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) as it is made from high quality coal, wood or coconut shell raw material. acts as a means of adsorption in liquids and gases.

|

 What is Powdered Activated Carbon(PAC) ?

Powdered Activated Carbon refers to activated carbon with a very small particle size (typically less than U.S standard 80 mesh size) and provides a large surface for quick and efficient adsorption.,which makes it Ideal for liquid phase applications such as food and water treatment.  Additionally, it effectively removes organic impurities, unwanted colours and odors, while simultaneously improving the taste quality through various processes.

Our PAC is a reliable, economical water treatment option for taste and odor control and removal of organic compounds. The use of PAC is beneficial economically and environmentally, since it reduces operating costs, produces minimal waste sludge, allows for the conservation of resources, and provides superior water quality.

 Advantages of Powdered Activated Carbon(PAC)

The superior performance of PAC stems from its unique working mode:

· Large Specific Surface Area & Rapid Adsorption Rate: Due to its fine particles, PAC offers an enormous external surface area per unit weight. When added to a liquid, each particle makes full contact with contaminants, enabling almost instantaneous adsorption—ideal for emergency pollution incidents.

· Flexible Dosing & Easy Application: Dosage can be adjusted based on the level of contamination, offering operational simplicity without complex fixed-bed systems. This flexibility is particularly valuable for seasonal variations or accidental pollution events.

· High Treatment Efficiency: PAC effectively removes color, odor, organic matter (e.g., COD/BOD), heavy metal ions, and trace toxins, significantly improving water quality and safety.

Thanks to these advantages, powdered activated carbon is an extremely versatile option that is commonly used in the food industry, gas treatment and water purification

The adsorptive capacity of Tongke Carbon’s powdered activated carbon (PAC) makes it ideal for removing a variety of contaminants from water, air, liquids and gases.

 Sorts of Powdered Activated Carbon

There are two main families of powdered activated carbon: chemically and physically powdered activated carbon. the main differences between the two.

Chemically  powdered  activated carbon

Chemically  powdered  activated carbon use Chemical activation with agents like phosphoric acid or zinc chloride. These chemicals treat the raw material to boost its ion-exchange and adsorption properties. This method works at lower temperatures and creates a finer, more even pore structure. It's great for making highly absorbent carbon, especially from wood or nutshells.

Chemically  powdered  activated carbon mainly used in the food industry ,like wine, tartaric acid, oils, fruit juice, alcoholic beverages, sweets, glutamate and more.

Also the chemical and pharmaceutical sector.

 Physically Powdered Activated Carbon

Physically powdered activated carbon uses high-temperature steam or gases to treat carbonized material at 800-1000°C. This process works by opening blocked pores, enlarging existing ones, and creating new ones, ultimately developing a highly porous structure in the activated carbon.

It offers excellent performance in water purification, waste-water treatment, removal of dioxins from the air and elimination of PAH from oils.

The raw materials used for this type of carbon often be coal or coconut husks.

Physically powdered activated carbon is used in the water-treatment, food, chemical and pharmaceutical sectors.

 Typical Applications of  powdered activated carbon PAC

  • Drinking Water Treatment: Standard emergency measure for addressing sudden taste/odor issues, organic pollution, or seasonal algal blooms in water plants.

  • Industrial Wastewater Treatment: Widely used for decolorization in dyeing wastewater,  COD removal in chemical wastewater, and heavy metal removal in electroplating effluent.

  • Food & Pharmaceutical Industries: Applied in decolorization and purification of syrups,sugar, edible oils, citric acid, and pharmaceuticals to remove impurities and enhance product purity.

  • Environmental Emergency Response: Used as an immediate adsorbent in cases of sudden contamination in rivers or lakes to quickly control pollution spread.
